One of these additional tunes was Aberystwyth [Xref: RS-332 (and 258) ]
A Supplement, Hymns for Today, edited by Carey Bonner, was published in 1930.

Baptist Praise & Worship, 1991
The 1992 book was in preparation at the same time as Rejoice and Sing, and published within a few months of the first copies of RS. It was edited by a Committee set up, as for previous Baptist hymn-books, by the Psalms & Hymns Trust, With Alec Gilmore as Chairman, and Michael Ball as chairman of a Music Advisory Committee.
It contains a number of prayers and other items for responsive reading, interspersed among the hymns in appropriate subject contexts, and a selection of prose psalms (in the Joint Liturgical Group/Collins version) also set out for responsive reading, but not pointed or provided with music.
In a separate section are five hymns in Welsh, for which English versions or equivalents are provided. This differs in principle from the provision in Rejoice & Sing, where the small number of English hymns which were translations or versions of a Welsh original were printed alongside their Welsh equivalent.
Including the items for reading, there are 712 items altogether.
